But one day a FBI agent shows up at Joe's front door. The agent knows about his talent and wants him to go back in time to stop the attacks of Pearl Harbor.

Next on his second try Joe finds Ted and tells him what is going to happen. Next Joe hits the road to Washington to tell the president what is going to happen.
